This . . .
We have a big and powerful God.
.
That . . .
A. The distance from the sun to the earth is 93 million miles or what is known as 1 Astronomical Unit (93 million miles = 1 AU).
B. Neptune is 30 AU from the sun (2,790,000,000 miles).
C. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
D. Light can travel to Neptune from the sun in 250 minutes (just over 4 hours).
E. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year (5.8 trillion miles = 1 light-year).
(Gen 1:3) God said “Let there be light” and there was light.
F. The Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 light-years across (the Milky Way is one of an estimated 1 million galaxies in the known universe).
G. Traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) it would take 100,000 years to cross the Milky Way Galaxy... just one galaxy!
H. The Cosmos (created universe) is an estimated 13 billion light years wide. That equals 76,254,048,000,000,000,000,000 miles in length!
I. God describes his creation of this cosmos in ½ a sentence, “In the beginning God created the heavens...”. It was effortless for Him. All it got was ½ a sentence!
.
This is That . . .
God's front yard is 13 billion light years wide. I am barely six feet tall, and yet this all powerful God . . . thinks of me!
Jer 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope..
Even more amazing, some believers are only 5' 2" and God thinks of them too.
